We are very excited to present to you the first major update for Crimson Dawn.
New Languages
We’ve got a lot of feedback from players about the importance of playing the game in their language. Since it is very important to us to give as many players as possible a chance to enjoy the game, Crimson Dawn now officially supports the following languages:
English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, Korean, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
New Map: Mystic Meadows
Experience a new chapter of the adventure with the new map ‘Mystic Meadows’. Take on five new missions, unique monsters and bosses! Arm yourself with new artefacts that increase your character’s stats.
Also, a new mechanic called ‘Madness Zones’ was added to the game. During the fights, you will come across randomly generated zones with special debuffs. Each of these zones has a goal which you can complete to receive a reward equivalent to a boss chest.
Mystic Meadows can be unlocked by completing Wasteland Mission 3—be prepared to face a completely new challenge!
New Soundtracks: 2 New Battle Themes
For the new map, we wanted the music to be special. With the new battle theme, the mystical atmosphere of the Mystic Meadows will accompany you into battle.
We pay attention to your requests, so please enjoy a brand new main battle theme for our previous map ‘Wasteland’.
You can discuss your experience with the game and report bugs on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/N4Arfz7UqH
We will keep reading your feedback and do our best to provide you with hotfixes and new content as soon as possible.
I hope you will continue to enjoy and support Crimson Dawn. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Purple Lake Team
